The Burnt-Out Town of Miracles
A Historical, World War II, War book. , . ? . , , , , , ,...
Set in Finland in 1939, this is the story of one man who remains in his home town when everyone else has fled, burning down their houses in their wake, before the invading Russians arrive. Timo remains behind because he can't imagine life anywhere else, doing anything else besides felling the trees near his home. This is a novel about belonging - a tale of powerful and forbidden friendships forged during a war, of unexpected bravery and astonishing survival instincts. The Burnt-Out Town of Miracles is not a novel about war, but about the lives of ordinary people dragged into war, each of whom only wants to find the path back home. Roy Jacobsen uses the dramatic natural landscape of light and darkness, fire-blazing heat and life-robbing cold to spectacular effect.

When the Russian army sets... O fnskej Zimnej vojne z pohadu drevorubaa, ktor ostal v rodnom meste aj napriek evakuci a aby preil, neostvalo mu ne drevom zsobova nepriatesk armdu. Jednoduch, mraziv a vemi dobr. Viac na orvokki.sk . I really wanted to love this book. I've always been a deep admirer of the Finns and how they took on the Russians in one of the most lopsided wars ever. At least as far as I can tell, there are very few novels about the Finnish-Russian war in English. I think The Burnt-Out Town Of Miracles should be read. Others may get what I was missing...
